Hello Blanton Parents!

We are excited to announced that Blanton Elementary will implement Breakfast in the Classroom(BIC) for K-5th grade on Monday, March 19! Please watch the Nutrition and Food service department video to learn more about the process; meal service menus are also available on the webpage.

BIC is a room service style program that provides an optional free breakfast for all students.

Here’s How it Works:

Each morning, cafeteria staff prepares and delivers both cold and hot breakfast items to the classrooms.

Daily meals include healthy protein and whole-grain options, as well as fresh fruit, 100% fruit juice and low-fat milk choices.

Students choosing to eat breakfast have the option to select which food items they take.

As a part of the School Breakfast Program, students are required to take a full meal consisting of an entrée and a fruit or juice, just as they would in the cafeteria.

If a student does not want to eat breakfast, they do not have to take any of the items offered.

Busy weekday mornings often make it challenging for families to find time for a healthy breakfast. BIC allows parents to have more time to prepare for the day, while being assured that their child will be provided a nutritious school breakfast each morning. The meal time spent together in the classroom also helps create vibrant relationships between students and teachers.

If you have any questions regarding BIC or anything relating to the cafeteria, you can contact the Blanton Cafeteria Manager, Micheal at 512-841-5700 or the Area Supervisor, Evan Ramos, 512-414-0271.
